Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and a bit feverish with low energy. Please ask: How can the crying due to tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be administered. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
